theaustralian.com.au/science… Health experts are concerned that salmon isn't as healthy as it's been advertised as. Time for FSANZ to take a closer look, and by closer look we mean **very** independent testing - buy it off the shelf.

We took samples from each of Tasmanian's salmon brands to an independent, NATA accredited lab in Melbourne. They found some pretty surprising results...

#GellRiver #Tasmanian #WorldHeritage #Bushfire Sad to say @TasFireService map now shows much of Denison Range covered by fire ground, including string of glacial lakes. This is precious wilderness, valued by UNESCO. We must hear from Govt on how this happened. Not later. Now.

Climate change is the number 1 issue. We worry about giving our kids a decent education and we work hard to leave them some money or assets. We need to leave them a liveable planet. Next election, vote for your kids’ & grandkids’ future, so they have one
I know this is a hopeless tweet but I worry endlessly about climate change. Particularly when I look at my grandchildren. Will we be the generation that pass on a world beyond saving to our descendants?

Don’t be fooled by string of surpluses — Tasmania really has cash deficits themercury.com.au/news/opini… Another masterclass from John and a great expose of financial spin.

A last minute entry for stupidest tweet of 2018
The solution to drug-related deaths at music festivals is to make these events drug-free: more sniffer dogs, more policing, more searching, tougher penalties - not a surrender to the druggies by testing their pathetic pills. They should be music festivals, not drug festivals.

Dumbo octopuses are the deepest living of all known octopuses! They live in the open ocean, reaching to depths of at least 13,100 feet and perhaps much deeper!

Myrtle beech has occupied the Blue Tier since before the last ice age 18,000 years ago. Thanks to the generosity of supporters, 85 ha of the Blue Tier was protected by the TLC in 2012 and we continue to ensure the landscape remains in excellent condition. Photo: Andy Townsend

Today it has been announced that Japan will RESUME commercial whaling next year. This is one of the most cruel, barbaric & archaic practices. It threatens not only one of the most intelligent species on earth, but also the complex ecology of the ocean.Pls RT & openly oppose this.

How stone-stacking wreaks havoc with our national parks “In Acadia National Park, volunteers destroyed nearly thirty-five hundred rock stacks, on two mountains alone, in 2016 and 2017” @NewYorker @Seasaver #topplethatstack newyorker.com/culture/rabbit…

BREAKING DATA from the ATO: 751 major Australian corporations, with almost half a trillion dollars in revenue, paid not a single cent in tax. Spread the word.

I was afraid of that...
Ah, politics. The art of appearing to do something on an issue while ensuring nothing changes. Morrison’s CIC is ICAC’s poor cousin #auspol
